Thanks so much for posting your results and your kind words. I hope this does encourage people who test positive but have no symptoms to get a western blot. You definitely don’t have to do it through me, you can work with your own providers to get this test, though sometimes, they are unfamiliar with the test and refuse to sign the lab order.
The IgG tests from both LabCorp and Quest are loaded with false positives, especially in the low positive range (1.1 to 3.5) but I’ve seen false positives with index values as high as 17.
